I’m a huge fan of one-pot meals. One word: laziness. Since my kitchen always looks like a tornado blew through when I’m cooking, it’s nice to have a meal that minimizes the wreckage called dirty dishes. And so this meal is perfect.
All ingredients go into one pot and you come away with only a handful of dishes. This is a great dish for those that like various kinds of protein and meat mixed together – you can increase or decrease any of the amounts (of chicken, shrimp, sausage) and it will still taste amazing. It’s also a great dish for company as it requires minimal work but produces a large amount of food.
Happy Thursday and thanks for reading!
ONE POT SHRIMP, CHICKEN AND SAUSAGE JAMBALAYA
Yield: 6-7 servings
INGREDIENTS
2 T olive oil
1 lb cubed chicken*
9 oz chopped Italian sausage*
1 T olive oil
2 onions, sliced
1-2 peppers (orange or green)
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 c uncooked white rice
5 c chicken broth
3 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp thyme
1 1/2 tsp chili powder
1/4 tsp cayenne
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
26 oz chopped tomatoes, undrained
15 large shrimp, cooked
*You can use pre-cooked chicken and sausage but add with rice
DIRECTIONS
In a large pot, heat olive oil. If using raw chicken and sausage, add chicken first and cook until pink is gone from the outside. Add sausage and cook until completely cooked through and neither meat is pink in the center. Add 1 T olive oil, onions, peppers and garlic and cook for 10 minutes or until onions are soft. Add rice, broth, paprika, thyme, chili powder, cayenne, red pepper and tomatoes and stir to combine. Bring to a boil, cover and turn heat to low. Simmer for 30 minutes on low, checking on pot periodically to make sure broth isn’t completely absorbed. Rice will absorb broth while cooking. After rice is cooked, add shrimp and lightly mix into jambalaya. Cover and cook for 5 minutes.
Take care when serving jambalaya – there may be parts stuck to the bottom of the pot that are slightly burned. To avoid these areas, do not scrape the bottom.
We went to Panera Bread last night for the first time in a LONG time. I’ve probably shared my love-hate relationship of Panera; hate for their price hikes and the food quantity inconsistencies across each restaurant and love of their food. Yesterday was no different – I ordered their newest Ancient Grain & Arugula Salad (with apples, grapes…)…
Say hello to my new favorite bag from Vera Bradley. I’ve been carrying this beauty everywhere – it fits a crazy amount of my stuff, it is made of the nicest leather and it relieves my shoulders from having to carry a bag the “real” way. You might be like me and think that all…
It’s funny how you don’t realize you’re wearing something often until you see it in photo form. These sneakers are the epitome of casual spring style and I seem to be pairing them with every outfit lately. They’re super comfortable and they go with quite literally everything. K-Swiss is a great brand but Adidas also…
Fall is a great time of year and while most of us don’t think about it in terms of picnics and bbqs, I think it’s the perfect time to grab a blanket, a bottle of wine and enjoy the changing leaves and cooling temperatures. Planning the perfect fall picnic doesn’t take much work or effort,…
Talk about a green salad. Full of healthy ingredients like broccoli, kale and cabbage, today’s salad is for those who love antioxidant-rich foods, for those who don’t wimp out at the mere sight of a green vegetable. This salad is a twist on yet another Trader Joe’s specialty (the TJ salad included similar ingredients but had…
Today began as a rough day. We woke up this morning to no internet connection. Like I said, rough. And so as I’m typing this five hours later, I’m still hoping that the internet will miraculously bounce back and grace us with its presence. It’s probably ridiculous how much we rely on technology but we can’t…
